Zambia is wild and totally unspoilt! Of all the Southern
African safari destinations it offers the most remote and
raw bush experiences. One of its best features are the walking
safaris offered in the South Luangwa National
Park, based
out of small, usually 6 bedded, bush camps. Walking safaris
enable one to see the bush though the eyes of the lion etc.
with experienced and qualified guides.
Zambia has 4 main areas of interest
- the game rich South Luangwa National Park, the Lower
Zambezi, Victoria Falls and the Kafue National Park with
its Busanga Plains. Over the last 10 years tourism to
Zambia has been a challenge to many of its dedicated
safari operators with the collapse of its national
scheduled air services making access both unreliable and
costly. As a result there is now a seasonal schedule of
light aircraft transfers between destinations and a real
camaraderie and support structure between all the
operators, which enables one to see a variety of
destinations with ease.
International access is best via Lusaka or Lilongwe (to
Mfuwe) or Johannesburg (to Lusaka) or
Harare (to
Victoria Falls) and itineraries can be easily combined
with South Africa,
Malawi or Zimbabwe.
